Yup - MacWorld did the same thing to me, and went one better!

They sent me a form saying you qualify for a FREE subscription.  I
filled it out and sent it back.  After about 2 issues, I got a bill.
I wrote "I don't want this if I have to pay for it" and mailed it back.

They keep sending bills (which I am now officially ignoring) even
though they've escalated to the "collection agency".  They've stopped
sending magazines.

And guess what!  Just the other day, I got another letter saying that
I qualify for a free subscription!

Maybe if I threaten to write a letter to MacUser, MacWorld will get
around to fixing this?
